Stop wasting time on WordPress housekeeping. Scotty gives you a single dashboard to clean trash and orphaned data, find duplicate entries across meta tables, optimize your database, and manage cron jobs visually. It also unlocks 22+ hidden WordPress settings covering security hardening, performance tuning, and media control — things normally buried in code. Free, open-source, and built with a modern React UI. Works with WordPress 6.2–6.9 and PHP 8.1+. Download it from WordPress.org.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Giovambattista, and I built Scotty because I was tired of installing 5 different plugins just to keep my WordPress sites clean.
Every time I set up a new project, it was the same routine: one plugin for database cleanup, another for cron management, a third to disable XML-RPC, and so on. Each with its own UI, its own update cycle, its own compatibility issues.
So I built the tool I wanted to have. Scotty puts everything in one place:
🗑️ Trash cleanup — revisions, auto-drafts, orphaned meta, transients
🔍 Duplicate detection across all meta tables
🗄️ Database optimization with health monitoring
⏱️ Visual cron manager with real-time status
🔒 22+ hidden WordPress settings for security, performance, and media
It’s 100% free and open-source. The dashboard is built with React and Mantine UI on top of WPBones, a framework I’ve been developing for years to make WordPress plugin development more modern.
I’d love to hear what features you’d want next. Some things on the roadmap:
- Scheduled automated cleanups
- Email reports
- REST API monitoring
